java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0?

Question

So, I'm creating a grid view.

The idea of this Activity is to get into the directories that are going to be displayed by using a grid view that will show my photo's from my photo. It's supposed to correctly display images that I would select from the grid view

But instead, when I enter into the Activity it crashes and restarts the app

Here's the source of error 3:

First code:

setImage(imgURLs.get(0), galleryImage, mAppend);

Second:

Third:

    setupGridView(directories.get(position));

Here's the Entire Code:

java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0, Size: 0

You are using:

setImage(imgURLs.get(0), galleryImage, mAppend);

It means that imgURLs has 0 elements.
Before using imgURLs.get(0) just check if it has the first element for example:

if (imgURLs != null && imgURLs.size()>=1) { ... }
